The Lady of the Big House in the Red House

It is even more comforting.It's just that the uncle has not stayed overnight during this time, she was a little worried, and said, "Now the second wife is pregnant, shouldn't the wife be in a hurry?"

It took Xu Hui a while to realize Li Nanny's meaning, and she couldn't laugh or cry immediately, and said, "These are all predestined, am I in a hurry? Besides, my body... let's talk about it later."

Nanny Li thought she had hit Xu Hui's weakness, so she smiled and stopped talking.

"Nurse is worried about me, I understand." Xu Hui smiled slightly, feeling that she was more and more used to such a life.

The third day of August was Jiamu's birthday, so Xu Hui picked out a gown with light yellow embroidered white magnolia and put it on, and she wore a light purple brocade-cut flower dress on her upper body.She has a slender figure, and her long hair is tied into a snake bun, making her face even more charming.Putting an agate ring on his hand, he went to Rongxi hall with the thrush's hand.

Wang's belly has been six months old, and her clothes are bulging.She has an oval face, with phoenix eyes slanted into her temples, and a pair of tortoise-shell and ruby ​​hairpins on her hair in a bun, and clusters of gold-plated and colorful glazed swallowtail butterflies on her temples.She was wearing a bright red dress embroidered with a group flower pattern, and she also wore a string of pearl necklaces around her neck, which looked radiant.

Jia, who is snuggling next to Mother Jia, is also dressed in colorful clothes. The facial features that have just bloomed just now are delicate and exquisite, like a fairy in a painting, showing everyone's demeanor with every frown and smile.In the center of her bun was pinned an exquisitely crafted Miao silver butterfly hairpin, and the pearl and jasper steps swayed with the slight shaking of her head.With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she was talking in Jia Mu's ear, which made Jia Mu very happy.

"Sister-in-law is here." Mrs. Wang didn't get up to greet Xu Hui, but sat on the chair motionless, holding a handkerchief embroidered with the pattern of hundreds of sons and grandchildren, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is late, when Self-punishment three cups."

"You are pregnant with a child, so the contents of the cup should be less contaminated." Xu Hui knew that the eldest and second bedroom had always been at odds, Jia Daishan favored Jia Amnesty, but Jia's mother favored Jia Zheng.The two brothers seem to be brothers and sisters on the surface, but it is difficult to say what kind of situation they are in reality.In order to maintain the harmony on the outside, Xu Hui could only keep calm, "I still have to wait a few months before hugging a big fat nephew."

"Sister-in-law is used to telling jokes." Wang was a little complacent.Now that she has Zhu'er and another child in her womb, she finally has a firm foothold in the second room, and even the people sent by Jia's mother dare not be unscrupulous.Looking at the big house, although Xu Hui gave birth to a son, but unfortunately died young, that aunt named Rong dared to blatantly bully the mistress, which shows how unfavorable Xu Hui is.If she doesn't have children in the future, there will be hope for Chengjue's affairs.

Wang has never concealed her ambitions, and she believes her husband does too.

Taking a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, Xu Hui saw that Mrs. Wang didn't continue talking, and she didn't bother to continue looking for topics, so she turned her eyes to the table lively.Many famous officials' wives in the capital have come, which shows how prosperous the Rongguo Mansion was at this time.In terms of talent, Jia Daishan may not be as good as the ministers in the court, but in terms of business strategy, he is one of the best.

"Sister-in-law, don't drink too much. Although this wine is not strong, you will get drunk if you drink too much." At some time, Jia Min had already left Jia Mu's side, walked over and sat down next to Xu Hui.

"Thank you for reminding me." Xu Hui remembered that Jia Min's relationship with Jia Amnesty was better than Jia Zheng's. Of course, Jia Zheng was addicted to reading and rarely got along with his younger sister, but Jia Min was more involved. He and Wang dislike each other.

The relationship between people is so wonderful, even if Wang didn't do anything to offend Jia Min, the two of them still confronted each other like a disagreement.Compared with Wang's daughter-in-law, Jia's mother naturally loves her daughter more, so once Wang meets Jia Min, she usually loses more and has less chance of winning.

"Sister, don't just say sister-in-law, you are the same." Wang looked at the wine glass in Jia Min's hand, "Is it a girl who is not yet married? There are many female relatives here, sister, so don't tell them that you are a greedy person in a cup." It's not good for my sister's reputation if it spreads out."

"The wine glass in my hand is filled with rose dew, not wine, so don't bother my second sister-in-law." Jia Min drank the liquid in the glass in one gulp, "This rose dew is a reward from the palace, mother I specially opened a bottle for me to drink. Sister-in-law, this tribute tastes mellow and sweet, let me ask someone to pour you a glass."

Roses are indeed good for women's beauty, but because they also have the effect of regulating qi and activating blood, Mrs. Wang can't drink it even if she is greedy.Seeing that Jia Min asked someone to bring the bottle of rose dew, and the alluring fragrance lingered in the air, Wang looked at Jia Min resentfully, gritted his teeth and drank a cup of cool water, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. .

"She is your second sister-in-law, and she is pregnant again, so don't be angry with her." Xu Hui was really worried that Mrs. Wang would get pregnant in a fit of anger, so she whispered, "Is it the old lady's birthday?" , restrain yourself."

"Sister-in-law has a good temper." Jia Min pouted, "I know."

She's not in a good temper, she just doesn't want to make trouble.Pregnant women are the biggest in the world. If she is really angry, Jia Min will not be harshly judged by Jia Mu, and she is afraid that she will become a scapegoat.

The Fourth Chapter of Fortune and Misfortune

After Jia's mother's birthday, Jia Daishan followed the emperor to the hunting grounds to hunt, and Jia She and Jia Zheng were the only men in the mansion who talked about things.That day, Xu Hui had just eaten breakfast, and took the stretcher to go over her embroidery skills, but she heard a message from Madam Lai, who was next to Jia Mu, saying that Jia Mu had something to ask Xu Hui to discuss.

After walking to the main courtyard, Xu Hui realized that she had been sued again.It's funny to say, every time Mother Jia sent someone to pass on Xu Hui, it was because of the people below to complain. Rong's is still locked in the Dongkua courtyard, and now a few more have come.After a closer look, they were all old acquaintances, they were the young people Xu Hui had ordered Madam Li to deal with.

Xu Hui smiled slightly and said, "Is there something important that the old lady called me here?"

Mother Jia had heard the complaints of these families before, but she couldn't believe the "fact" that their eldest daughter-in-law kicked out their whole family because of jealousy.However, in order to show her impartiality and strictness, Mother Jia still brought the parties involved. After all, these families had the companion room of the deceased old lady.

"They said that you kicked them out of the mansion with an excuse, because She'er took a fancy to their daughter and wanted to take her as an aunt, but you don't allow it, is there such a thing?"

Xu Hui noticed that Jia Min followed Jia's mother today without any taboos, and knew in her heart that Jia Min had already negotiated marriage with the Lin family. She must learn these things about the rear house, so she replied respectfully: "Among these families, Chen's family and Ma's family were the former companions of the old lady, while Gu's family and Zhong's family were the sons of our mansion. It stands to reason that if they behave well, the wife will not drive them out of the mansion. But after I recovered from my illness, I discovered that the amount of money spent by Dongkua Hospital every month did not match the account book, and after careful investigation, I found out that someone was pocketing it, so my daughter-in-law dealt with it like this."

Mother Jia's face darkened, and her gaze towards the family became vicious in an instant.She stomped on the ground with her cane, and said, "Continue."

"The Chen family is in charge of purchasing, the Ma family is in charge of the sewing room, the Gu family is in charge of the public account of Dongkuayuan, and the maid of the Zhong family is in charge of the master's study." Xu Hui replied one by one, "Xu is They feel that the daughter-in-law is in the inner house and doesn't know the situation outside, so she just came back to me after doing accounts. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is used to checking with the public accounts of the mansion, otherwise they would not be able to find out that they were pocketing their own money. I heard that they went back to their residence , food and drink are all treasures. They made a lot of money by relying on the status of the old lady's companion and the birth of the family's children, so the daughter-in-law drove them all out, but only took more than half of the money , and some have already been spent. The daughter-in-law thought that they had worked so hard in the mansion for decades so they didn't kill them all, but she didn't expect them to dare to come to the old lady to complain."

"It's unreasonable, you don't take our masters seriously!" Jia Min said first, "Such a slave sister-in-law should not be let go at all. She steals the property of the master's house and sends it to the government for punishment."

Mother Jia patted Jia Min's head, and looked at the kneeling person, there was no forgiveness in her eyes.In fact, she was also secretly happy. In the past, the old matriarch always used her status to suppress She'er who wanted to control her, so she assigned the Chen family and the Ma family to She'er. Unexpectedly, they were guarding and stealing, the old lady It's time for you to know people and don't know them.She said: "Min'er is right. After all, you are still a little soft-hearted. Don't think that they are left behind by the old lady and just let them go. Does Xi'er know about this?"

"I've already told the master." Xu Hui was actually worried that Jia She would object, but Jia She only waved his hand to signal Xu Hui to deal with it by herself, so she was so bold.

"In this case, follow what Min'er said and send them all to the government. Make a list of the money you haven't recovered, and make up for it from the things copied from their house." Mother Jia waved her hand. Dispose of it directly.

Xu Hui only said that she had studied and flattered Jia's mother for a few words before returning to Dongkua courtyard.

"Does Mammy think I'm too soft-hearted?" Seeing Mammy Li agreeing with Mother Jia's approach, Xu Hui asked.

"Forgive the old slave, as the mistress, the wife should kill and decide like the old lady.
